The Twins opened 2009 with a payroll of slightly over $65 million. They are currently in a position to open 2010 with a payroll around $90 million. Since the J.J. Hardy for Carlos Gomez trade, this offseason has been void of any big moves. With so little activity, clearly the payroll increase came by way of raises to existing players. Here's how it breaks down:

$7.0 million: Carl Pavano was not with the Twins on opening day 2009, but was paid a prorated $4.35 million last year. The Twins signed him to a 1-year $7 million deal for 2010.

$4.6 million: J.J. Hardy will get paid $5.1 milliion, and was traded for Carlos Gomez, who made $438k last year.
